All script apps like forums or e-stores save their information inside a database - a group of cells and tables containing the site data like items, prices, comments, and many others. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it functions on various platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with huge databases. Numerous well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to keep their content.

MySQL 5 Databases in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will enable you to host MySQL-driven websites without any difficulty as our cloud platform has the latest management system version set up. You'll be able to set up, erase and manage your databases without difficulty via our custom Hepsia Control Panel. If you want to migrate a site from another web hosting provider, you should use the phpMyAdmin tool which you can access from Hepsia, or you can connect remotely right after you've allowed this feature for your IP address. In the same way you could also modify specific cells or tables in any of your databases. Setting up a backup is equally uncomplicated and requires simply a click on the Backup button for a specific database. This feature will enable you to keep a copy of a site on your PC or to export the content of a particular database, modify it on your end using appropriate software, and then import it back.

MySQL 5 Databases in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to use any script that requires MySQL with any of our semi-dedicated plans given that we have the latest version installed on all web servers - MySQL 5. Using our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you shall be able to quickly set up or erase a database, modify its password, back it up with a single click or examine the hourly and daily access stats for it. If you'd like to handle the content of a database directly, not through a script, you will have two options - either using the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, which is available in the CP, or using an application set up on your laptop or computer considering the fact that we support remote database access. For the abovementioned option, you will need to include your IP address through the web hosting account first as an additional level of security against unauthorized access to your data.
